I just told someone that after ten months I still miss Oliver but the pain is gone... and then today I happened to look at my kids photos of Oliver in Facebook... it brought a shower of tears...

Cowls
few cowls...
Bandana Cowl in lovely bluish yarn spun by Zeska from Tuulia's gorgeous fibre
and Setzer Cowl in a beautiful grey from Ilu's Luxury Club... this is a Jared Flood pattern ... simple but genius!

Some knitting..
There has been knitting, but no one to model the cowls and things... so only photos taken by Minerva of my new sweater:
Idlewood by Cecily Glowik MacDonald
I used Rowan Felted Tweed Aran in the colourway Heather
Very quick, very easy but next time I would make it less wide on the hips!
The Buxus shrub in front of our house is looking like this.

Tonttu family
Our homes in Finland and here in Italy are home to gnomes, tonttu in finnish. They are Santa's helpers, but they are also good little spirits that take care of us and our homes!
This little guy looks over our livingroom:
This guy keeps an eye on our apartment in Finland... he even has the key...
And these two little guys are actually the figurines of the real live gnomes that live down under the pine-tree in our garden...

Chocolate and things!
Salty pretzels and slices of banana dipped into good quality dark chocolate... Yummy!
Aurora enjoys making things and we enjoy eating them!
